NDSCS announced today that it will continue to facilitate academic classes through distance delivery methods through the remainder of the Spring 2020 semester. Distance and online learning is scheduled to begin Monday, March 23, and was originally scheduled through April 3. The College remains open with limited staffing, with employees who are able to work remotely doing so.

“This was a difficult decision, as we value face-to-face teaching and learning,” said NDSCS President John Richman. “However, we feel this is the best decision to help prevent the spread of COVID-19 and protect the health of our communities.”

NDSCS will provide additional information to its students and employees early next week with details regarding academic classes, residence hall move-out and tool pick-up, and decisions regarding College events including Commencement.

The North Dakota State College of Science has announced that it will begin operating with limited in-person staffing levels by Wednesday, March 18. The College will remain open at both its Wahpeton campus and its NDSCS-Fargo location. However, to encourage social distancing to slow the spread of COVID-19, most employees will make arrangements with their supervisors to telecommute. The College will operate at limited staffing levels until further notice.

NDSCS will maintain limited staffing at its facilities to support students who remain on campus and perform other essential functions. This will also allow employees who are unable to work remotely to have the opportunity to continue to work during this time. NDSCS will continue to facilitate distance and online learning to current students from March 23 through April 3.

The College will continue to support students through this time period of limited staffing. Students who are in need of academic or student support services are encouraged to call or email the Student Success Center at 701-671-3000 or NDSCS.StudentSuccess@ndscs.edu.

Three students from the North Dakota State College of Science have been nominated for the 2020 All-North Dakota Academic Team, which recognizes the academic achievements of community college students.

  • Julwe Nagbe, Construction Management Technology, Lisbon, N.D.
  • Melonie Schultz, Liberal Arts, Dysart, Sask., Canada

Workforce Pathway Scholars plan to begin their careers immediately upon graduation, and Transfer Pathway Scholars plan to continue their education at a four-year institution after completing their studies at a community college.

The students will be recognized at an awards luncheon in Williston on Wednesday, March 25.
